[RESOLVED] When creating multiple datagridview controls at runtime, how do you hide columns?

[J2Tuner]

I am having some trouble with hiding columns in a datagridview control that I am generating at runtime. I am generating that control inside of a runtime generated tab page in an existing tab control. My code is as follows:

Try
    Do
        If m_DataTable.Columns.Contains("Checkpoint " & intCheckPointNumber & " Time") Then
            Dim tabNewCheckpoint As New TabPage
            Dim dgvNewCheckpoint As New DataGridView

            tabNewCheckpoint.Name = "tabCheckpoint" & intCheckPointNumber
            tabNewCheckpoint.Text = "Checkpoint " & intCheckPointNumber
            tabctrlTimingTable.TabPages.Add(tabNewCheckpoint)

            dgvNewCheckpoint.Name = "dgvCheckpoint" & intCheckPointNumber
            dgvNewCheckpoint.DataSource = m_DataTable
            dgvNewCheckpoint.Size = dgvTimingP2P.Size
            tabNewCheckpoint.Controls.Add(dgvNewCheckpoint)

            Try
                strColumnName = "Checkpoint " & intCheckPointNumber
                For Each col As DataColumn In m_DataTable.Columns
                    MessageBox.Show(col.ColumnName)
                    If col.ColumnName.StartsWith("Checkpoint") Then
                        If Not col.ColumnName.StartsWith(strColumnName) Then
                            dgvNewCheckpoint.Columns(col.ColumnName).Visible = False
                        End If
                    End If
                Next
            Catch
                MessageBox.Show(ErrorToString)
            End Try
        Else
            Exit Do
        End If
        intCheckPointNumber += 1
    Loop
Catch ex As Exception
    'MessageBox.Show(ErrorToString)
End Try

The col.ColumnName value does directly correspond to the columns in the database, but an error is generated immediately upon this line:

dgvNewCheckpoint.Columns(col.ColumnName).Visible = False

The error that I keep getting is: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

This code works fine for a datagridview control that I have inside of another tab page in the tab control that were all created at design time.

Is there a problem with trying to hide the columns immediately after I have created the runtime generated datagridview?

I am using VB2010.

Thanks
